The Church of the Brethren observe the major Christian holidays: Christmas (celebrating Christ's incarnation), Easter (celebrating Christ's resurrection), and Pentecost (celebrating the gift of the Holy Spirit). These holidays are affirmed as commemorations of central Christian truths and are occasions for congregational gathering and celebration.

The Love Feast (foot washing, meal, and communion) is a distinctive observance in the Church of the Brethren tradition, sometimes held at Easter or other liturgical seasons. It embodies the denomination's values of servanthood, community, and remembrance.

The church's celebration of holidays emphasizes spiritual meaning over materialism or elaborate ritual. The Brethren tradition values simplicity and focus on the gospel rather than secular accretions to the holidays. The gatherings of the church community and the remembrance of Christ are central.
